Opal Tometi Speaks on the Black Lives Matter Movement


Opal Tometi, co-founder of Black Lives Matter is a dedicated activist
working at the intersection of racial justice and immigrant rights for
more than a decade, Opal Tometi was incensed by the 2013 acquittal
of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martinâand
inspired to take action. Starting the Twitter hashtag, #BlackLivesMatter,
Tometi (with Alicia Garza and Patrisse Cullors), prompted activism
nationwide and introduced the banner under which this generationâs
civil rights movement marches. As the Executive Director at the Black
Alliance for Just Immigration, Tometi is also at the helm of the countryâs
leading Black organization for immigrant rights, steering initiatives
including the first Congressional briefing on Black immigrants. Tometi
reveals raw insights into the adversity inflicted by social injustice, anti-
black bias and uninformed views on immigration, educating and
inspiring audiences, like the thousands that she addressed recently in
Brooklyn to organize and stand together to fight Trump and to transform
society into a world where the lives and contributions of all individuals
are recognized equally.
